After what seems like forever, we finally go our permits from the ministry of culture to distribute our music and play public concerts in Iran. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this concept and think it sounds strange, well the truth is it is! The whole process is so absurd that none of it makes sense. But the good news is that I can finally get my music out in public over here. I'm almost 36, so I would say I have about 14 years left in the tank to solidify my legacy (if I can even manage to even stay relevant for that long).

I went through a lot of ups and downs, both personally and as a band, these past few years. But with the help and commitment of my bandmates (who seriously are the best bandmates in the world), we were able to make it through the fire in the face of all the adversaries that we faced. I sometimes wonder how we didn't just crash and cave in during the whole process. I seriously can't understand how we were able to maintain our patience and not go postal. But we persevered. And the future is looking bright. We have our eyes set on some big goals. Step one: get the album out.

We've recorded over 50 unreleased songs in the past few years and finally are able to share them with our fans.
